Today I had the pleasure of interviewing the amazing Dorne McLoughlin, founder of Ribbit Media Solutions. In the interview Dorne shares how she came to me for guidance, as she wanted to “feel comfortable and confident” standing on stage and delivering a presentation of over 1,000 business women.

Dorne had all the knowledge to prepare an amazing presentation but what she didn’t take into consideration was how to prepare herself. In the interview Dorne shares how the programme not only helped her deliver this presentation, but gave her the tools for every presentation to come.

Dorne was a previous client of mine and I invited her along to the interview today so she could share the importance of preparing yourself to speak.

The first step to confident public speaking

Say yes!!

Don't let nerves or fear hold you back, you can absolutely learn how to manage them. I love Dorne's attitude which means she's constantly stretching outside her comfort zone and reaching for the right people to support her to get there.

Dorne's Biggest Takeaway

The biggest takeaway for Dorne was trusting in the process and believing that it would happen

The outcome

Here's Dorne, on stage delivering to over 1000 women......

The feedback from the audience was incredible and I'm sure Dorne is now equipped to do this again with even more confidence in her abilities.

Sometimes when we want to step outside our comfort zone the fear can be overwhelming but instead of saying no and holding yourself back, take Dorne's approach. Ask for a little help, learn some practical tools so you know you can do it comfortably, confidently and then you're much more likely to make that come true.
